Strengths of the 4-2-3-1/4-3-3 hybrid.
- Creates natural passing triangles.
- Get good balance in Central Midfield with 3 CMs (allows one to attack).
- Natural Anchorman protecting back four (allows FBs to advance).
- Can move into 4-1-4-1 during lengthy spells without the ball.
- Left CM can drop and add protection to the back four.
- Can create double-pivot to offer good passing angles when building.
- Wingers can invert to create overloads in half-space with FBs supplying the width.
- The CF is heavily supported by attacking midfielders.
